Do you have an star note and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

While I'm happy so many people are finding star notes it has been a while since I got one. Mostly since I hardly use cash anymore.

Then on September 25 I got this bill in my change. It is a 2003A F-Atlanta series star note.

The back is normal as you can tell.

The star note is a replacement note used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing when a defect or error is found on the regular run of notes. There is no replacement of specific serial number instead they replace blocks of notes with the newest star notes. Since less then 1% of notes need replacement star notes are scarce.

Still they are not rare since they are printed by the hundred thousand or million. They are printed in runs of a specific amount and the lower the run the more it is worth to collectors.

I have a 1991 P quarter with a date of only "91". I noticed it as I was depositing my quarters in to a coin operated washing machine. Is this worth anything or should I just use it next time I need to do laundry? :-)

1950 Series D $5 bill. No stars, serial # a53355800b. Above the "Five Dollars" on the bottom, it says "Will pay to the bearer on demand."This was only on bills until 1963 before that it was normal. This bill is common and in very-fine is about $7.00.

$20.00 star bill. 2004 EC00545754*If it is crisp-uncirculated it is about $35.00. The low serial number and repeating digits may bring more to some collectors but those guys are hard to find.

Don't feel bad if you have to use it but if you can you may want to save it for a few years until the new $20 comes out.

ok, i am new to collecting and have no idea about it. i have a 10 dollar bill from 1969. it is signed by david m kennedy. the serial number is B34484822C. it has a 2 in each corner. its from NY city. ink is still rich in color. bill is still moderately crisp with only four folds. the treasurer is dorothy andrews something. could you tell me how much it is worth?-Ken

I have a $50 dollar bill (can't recall the year...before 1990), it's in pretty good shape, anyway, all the serial numbers, etc are stamped on the back. Is it worth saving?I also have a c1920 something $10 bill that states 'payable in gold', any worth to that?Thanks.

I have come into possession of several 1963 $5 bills, all lower serial numbered (no stars in the serial #, either) & with the red stamp. I understand that the worn ones are not of any extra value, but several are near mint condition & have been out of circulation for more than 40 years. Any idea of the value?

Sample serials:A21012708AA37355745AA07793925SA32324973A

In the condition you describe they are about $15.00 each. There are no valuable serials, unless the number is real low or repeating or some other cool pattern then add about $5.00 more.63,360,000 were made they were the last red seals and are often found in high grades.

My husband gave me a stack of money that his grandfather had been saving. A handful are as new as 1963, the rest are between 1934-1950. I was stuck in a bind, as I just got to NY from overseas on Sunday, and I spent a 1963 $20, two 1963 $1 and a 1950 $5 at a CVS in Soho on Sunday 16 December... Maybe you'll get lucky and find them! Nonetheless, I have the rest of the stack left and sorted into order. I'd like to know where I can sell these, and what the best way is. I am in New York now. I would list them here, but I have about $400 worth of 1, 5, 10, 20 notes, and it's too many to list... Most are VF, some have consecutive serial numbers, a few 'almost' uncirculated (because it's clear he got them from the bank then kept them). Thanks for your help.

I went through and listed everything as you suggested, here goes. Some are sequential, many are perfectly conserved (uncirculated?) and there's one with a star in front of the serial, I've never seen before. Anyway...

Hi there.I was just going through my bills to enter into wheresgeorge.com and I came across a my first star note.It is a 2001 $100 bill. Serial number: CE 00862551 * It's not in terrible condition (couple of folds, one bent corner). Any idea on the value? Thanks for the help.

I'll list the uncirculated values of course every fold or stain lowers the value.

$10 1934B Blue seal is one that may be worth grading before selling PCGS is a grading service that can help. A high grade will double the value.Any other I valued over $50 is worth a holding on to as these tend to grow in price. The rest you can sell as a collection expect to get anywhere from 20% above or below there value.

Hi - Just got a 1950C $20 L46362741C, Elizabeth Randall Smith/C. Douglas Dillon. Printing appears off center on both sides (but image is not cropped on either side - comes to about 1/16" from image to paper edge on top and left, 1/8" bot 1/4" right) on front, with visible crop/cut marks on bottom and right corner. Any idea what we got? Thanks!

I haven't had access to email since your response earlier this month. I would like to thank you for the time invested in researching and listing the values. the $5 G 57814606 B GREEN has a back number (the little number in the lower right on the back of the note? it's different than what's on the front? J225 front, 1648 back) that's higher than the high value ones you listed. Same for the other note, $5 1934D T 92132293 A BLUE which has a front of A2101 and back of 1992.

Is PCGS the most reputable currency grading service? I will send the $10 to them for grading, and will return the ones you listed above $50 to the safe...

The rest of the collection I guess I will photograph and sell as a collection-- would you suggest the best place as e-bay to sell as a collection, or...?

thanks for your information. i will check these out. the note on the site looks a lot like one i have, but a little less perfect around the edges because of how it was stored. i do have some that are more 'near perfect', like the sequential notes, but since i am not familiar with different grades, i couldn't tell you what state it's in. it has no stain, the one in the picture is stained by the upper right number on the front. there is that faint line on the front of mine (but nothing on the back, so it hasn't been folded or creased, nor has it been steamed or anything). i will read through your suggestions and see what i come up with and report back to you, for curiosity sake. i see that the seller still has his listed at $2150... mine should not be less than very fine, but i understand that a lot of factors go into the grading, not just whether it's pristine... so

my email works, so i will try to join the forum. i don't have a scanner here though. maybe i can photograph it with my macro lens tomorrow.

I just came across your site & what a wealth of info you provide! Could you possibly tell me if the bill that I have is rare or it's approx value? 1934a star note $10 bill, serial # F01058804*, circulated, some creasing.

Unfortunately these are not special, just the opposite they are the most common $100 note ever. 2,325,600,000 were printed which is why that letter goes A to X even to Y.So even a slight fold would make this worth only $100.

I have 3 1934c $20 in sequence. G 32153611 BG 32153612 BG 32153613 B the first one has the treasurer's signature slightly overlapping the serial number, would that be considered an error or not? what would be their value?

My son has a St. Louis $10 Star Note sn# H00577572 a 1950 series.On the back is 1439. and has an L164 in the lower right hand corner on the front of the bill. It is very crisp and clean. Is this something he should hang on to?

This is the Narrow variety because some of the design was more narrow then previous years.In crisp-uncirculated it is about $325.00.According to the book the highest found was H00516252* yours would be a new high number and may bring extra value in certain auctions if certified.

i have a 2 dollar bill with a star on it from 2003,2 silver dollars from 1971,a indian head penny from 1900 4,susan b anthoany coins 3 from 1979 and one from 1980 just wanted to know what if any thing there worth

I always get $2 bills from the bank, and just got one w/ a star. It's a 1976 series B00920875*. It has been circulated and has some discoloration around the margin, but is still crisp and no crease lines. Any idea how much it's worth?

I have a 1950 $20.00 serial # J84639952ANear the bottom on the front to the left of Jackson's picture it says:series 1950 cpretty much like I listed it.It has a fold in the middle and a corner was foldedWould you be able to tell me what it's worth?

Hi man, I got a 1934 ten dollar bill # G23063078A. The back number on the bottom is 424. I have read into this a little about them using a older back picture or something. It is in good condition,one fold down the center long way. Is this worth anything?

Also I have some 63'B Barr notes L79479631G and G01750103I both is pretty good condition , and one 63 Dillon G17050474A also in pretty good condition. I know Barr was only in office for one month, any value to these?

hi! i have a $100 )from another web site it says series A run 1 2003) fg00449058* it's in great shape but does have a crease where it's been folded in half. any idea what it may be worth?? thanks a bunch, buffy

Hi! I have a good condition $20 Fed Res Note 1934 C series - # B53282168 B with a green seal/stamp on the right side of Jackson under "Twenty". To the right of that green seal is the Number 2 and over it B 126. On the back, the small number on the right is 592. I would like to know: the value, how do you know the year made, what state, what does the writing on the green seal say. thanks so much

$20 Fed Res Note 1934 C series - # B53282168 B .... On the back, the small number on the right is 592.

It's about $22.50

Dates are tracked by the government but it can be deciphered by the serial number and signatures. Your bill has a back number higher than 588 so it had a "new back" which started July 27, 1948 and ended in May 1949.

The state should be on the seal with the big B, New York.

The green seal says THESAUR AMER. SEPTENT SIGIL which means The Seal of the Treasury of North America.

I have a stack of 100 $1 dollar bills, uncirculated, in sequential order of star notes.........I'm a BIG collector and stumbled upon this stack at work and IMEADIEATLY bought them.......the weird thing is that there is ONE NOTE that is not sequential. This one is F14037801* , then the notes go in order from F14039300* -F14039202* (series 2003)

Any idea how much this investment is worth? Like I said they are crisp, brand new and uncirculated......any information would be GREATLY appreciated!

P.S I have a BIG coin collection, but my 'baby' is a 1854 penny in almost PERFECT condition.....what's his worth, about?

THANK YOU!! Thats great news! I made a wise investment! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to answer another question. I found ONE other bill today and was wondering its worth, if any. Its a $100 dollar bill star note, 1999, BB00049587* (There is a B2 underneath the top serial numbers if that makes a difference.) Its a pretty crisp bill but not PERFECT, a few minor corner folds. Thank you SO MUCH in advance for your help! I have bookedmarked your site! INSTANT FAN! :D

I have a one dollar bill that was cut really low on the bottom. I can see the top of another dollar bill on the bottom it is series 2003 and has serial number B53397608D I don't know if I should look for anything else on this bill. I can send a pic if needed. I'll just have to figure out how to send it. thanks.

I have a 1963 series one dollar bill, A 00004474 * fair condition. I don't know how to grade condition but it has creases, slight fraying on the top and bottom edges and it looks like it may have been ironed.

I just got paid by a customer with 3 1950 $20's, 2 1950 $10's and a 1969 $10 the numbers are$20.001950A L01110073* 1950A B01549022B1950B L69475503B$101950A L34492324B1950A G19191606D1969A F70375489Acan you give me an idea what they are worth thanks....

1) I have two $100 bills with the star note. One of them is series 2001 and numbered CE00992961*. The second is series 2003 and numbered DK01109629*.2) I have a $20 bill with a number of: EA88553388E. All the numbers can mathmatically equal 8's. 3) I have a third $100 bill which has what looks like a small fruit stamp on the right side. The ink is similar in color to the ink of the bill as also does not bleed through to the opposite side of the bill. Any thoughts to the values of these bills?
